Who's there?
Secret Service Incognito's second in command, Variation-sama, correct?
Who are you?
I was sent by Erec-sama.
I've come to pick you up.
We will be out of the the Ulga Sorority's sphere of influence soon.
Within a few hours, we should be able to rendezvous with Erec-sama.
Variation-sama?
Are you thinking about something in particular?
Yeah, a little bit about the past.
Yes, that was before Incognito was formed...
What's wrong with you, punk?
You're only tough before things get going, or what?!
You messed with the wrong guy!
Piss off.
I'm earning my keep with my "face" here, too.
You think I'll just lose face without doing anything?!
Bitch!
I'd leave it at that.
Huh? Who are you?
There's no need to put your life on the line
for a fight you started over trivial matters.
Put that dangerous thing away.
What?!
Hey, bro, what's the big idea?
There's nothing to gain by taking part in someone else's fight.
Being meddlesome is just the way I was born.
Oh yeah? Then you'll bite the dust first!
Hey, watch your feet.
Looks like it's slippery.
Why you...
What about you? You wanna go?
You bastard...
Think twice.
There's no need for us to fight.
Shut up!
I told you to not do it.
Hmm, did you really say that?
I guess if you say you did, you probably did.
So, what kind of meddlesome guy
wants anything to do with a meddlesome guy like me?
A head-on match, that's not bad, either.
I don't like beating around the bush.
Right now, the city is drowning in crime.
Since the Alma Energy innovation,
along with the standard of living increasing
and the city's development flourishing,
it seems as if the people's lives are getting better.
However, the people's hearts are not finding fulfillment
and the self-bred false pretenses are swallowing the city
along with despair.
Crimes have become more brutal, and moral values are in the gutter.
In the last few years,
the crime rate has soared like never before.
Are you suggesting that a convenient world makes criminals more brutal?
We are working on reining in the criminals in this city.
Oh, thank you.
The noodles were good, I'll be coming back.
Thank you.
Eventually, we'll be turning it into a nationwide organization.
Right now we're laying the foundation for that.
And?
We're looking for skilled and loyal people.
From the skill standpoint, you're a great match.
How about it? Wanna try us out?
I've got an emotional scar that I can't talk about.
Your spot baldness?
How did you know?!
I accidentally saw how you were worrying about it in the bathroom.
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
Let's meet at the bureau tomorrow.
This is it?
It's easier to meet them rather than trying to explain it here.
So you're the new guy, huh?!
Come on, he just arrived, so let's be nice, okay?
What?!
You trying to tell me that I did something wrong?!
No, that's not what I meant.
Huh?! Huh?!
This is KT.
The number one rowdy of our detective bureau.
Nickname: Gori-san.
This is Leon.
The number one feeble guy here.
He's called Denka because of his gentle demeanor.
My favorite anime is Legend of the Blue Wolves.
And lastly, our boss.
I'm Erecpyle Dukakis. Nice to meet you.
I heard a lot about you from Yama-san.
I hear you're quite skilled.
Yama-san?
That's me.
I'm sure you already know,
but we're a special unit who stands up against crime.
We're still just a small organization,
but I do want to take it to a national scale in the eventually.
Yes, I've heard about that.
Right now, we need people who are absolutely loyal.
Do you have that quality?
I intend to prove myself worthy.
I see. Then we need to give you a nickname, as well.
Your nickname will be...
Spot Baldness.
What the hell?!
I think I'll go make my rounds.
Hey! You said you'd keep that a secret!
Well, you know...
Yes, Investigation Department here.
What?!
Yes...
Understood.
There's been an incident. Everybody, move out!
You've been surrounded.
Lay down your weapon and come out.
Shut up!
The perp is a vicious criminal with two prior cases.
You two move around to the back door.
Spot Baldness and I will....
Damn it, is he lost already?!
Don't shoot! I'm coming out with the perp!
Come on, walk already!
Mission accomplished.
And thus, my new life began.
I solved case after case with them,
and their trust in me grew stronger and stronger.
However, I...
It looks like you successfully infiltrated them.
Who do you think I am?
You're right.
So, what am I supposed to do there?
For now, just observe their movements and continue to report back.
That's it?
If there's anything else, I'll let you know.
Until then, don't let them get suspicious.
...I was a spy.
I lived in the shadows, a professional agent who did anything for money.
This time, I was hired by a mysterious person for an extraordinary sum.
Yes, I was a traitor.
Something wrong, Spot Baldness?
You often seem kind of absentminded lately.
Is there something on your mind?
Not really.
Let me know if you ever want to talk about it.
If there's anything we can do to help, you can count on us.
Roger.
By the way, about our next vacation, are you free?
It's actually a rather personal thing.
You see, I'm getting married soon.
Married?
Yes. And before we get married,
I wanted to introduce my friends to her.
Friend?
Me?
If you're busy, some other time is fine.
I'll come.
Really?
I'll definitely come. I promise!
Thank you.
That car!
What is it?
That's the getaway car we got a report on!
What?!
Call the HQ!
Got it!
I'm off.
Good work.
I'm off, as well.
Okay, good work.
Oh, wanna go have a drink?
No, I'm really off for the day.
I see, 'til tomorrow then.
I'm...
We did it!
Everybody, we did it! We finally did it!
What's up, boss?
We did it!
We have finally secured our funding.
Really?
Are you sure it's not some sort of scam like always?
This time it's real.
An organization that understands...
I believe they're called the Ulga Sorority.
We'll be generously funded by them.
Now we can take our operation to a nationwide level!
You did it, boss.
This is all thanks to the hard work you put in every day.
For that, I thank you.
Stop it boss.
I'm not good at handling that kind of stuff.
Yeah, really.
You're the one who was always leading and pulling us forward.
Then how about we all go have a drink?
That sounds good!
Oh yeah!
Let's drink until we get diarrhea!
Then the usual spot, at eight.
Hey now, if we're all drunk,
who's supposed to uphold the peace in the city?
That's what I'd usually say, but today's special!
Let's go wild!
Oh yeah, we also need a new name, so please think of something.
What am I supposed to do?
Hey, looks like it's going well.
I guess so.
What's wrong?
You look like someone at a wake.
You've got a mission.
And?
Your order is to assassinate your boss, Erecpyle.
Should I erase him?
You can pick your methods.
You've got one week from tomorrow. You can do it, right?
Who sent the order?
We agreed that you wouldn't ask.
In this world, trust is everything.
The important thing is loyalty towards your work.
I've passed on your orders, Spot Baldness.
Best of luck.
Hiding from the rain, as well?
Faced with this important choice,
I was distressed over the future of my two selves.
Should I stick to my work as a professional?
Or do I respond to the new trust
in like fashion, and throw my entire past away?
I envy you for your simple life.
Yes, Investigation Department here.
What?!
Understood!
There's a bank robbery at the St. Piria bank on 3rd.
An armed group has taken hostages and has holed up in there.
A robbery?! I'll show them!
All right, let's move out!
Today I'll go with you.
Let's move.
Are you sure?
Please don't lose it out there after so long.
We just got a generous sponsor.
I have to show off a little.
Hey, Spot Baldness! Move it!
Sorry.
We finished cordoning off the area.
The robbers are demanding a helicopter to get away.
They're saying they'll kill a hostage
every five minutes if we don't comply!
We were stationed on the second floor of the building across the street.
Yes.
What?!
It'll take 15 minutes until the army's special unit arrives.
Everybody, please put on your bulletproof vests.
This is the blueprint of the bank.
According to the hostages that were already freed,
the rest of the hostages are being held in this room on the first floor.
The robbers are split between the first and second floors.
We know of nine members in their group.
However, there is a chance that there are more of them.
What about the third and fourth floors?
They are empty, but the stairs are barricaded
so we can't get in there.
Gori-san, please assist us with your rifle from this building.
Roger.
Us four will descend from the roof with ropes
and enter from the windows on the second floor.
Denka and Yama-san will take care of the first floor,
Spot Baldness and I will take care of the second floor.
Gori here, I am in position.
Roger.
Assault team in position on the roof.
Fire tear gas in two minutes.
Roger!
Yama-san and Denka please descend from the north side.
Spot Baldness and I will enter from the south side.
Roger!
Are you ready?
Yes.
Yama-san, how about you?
We're ready.
All right, commencing mission.
Fire!
Stop screaming!
Damn, they're going to come in!
Please follow me in two seconds.
I'm entrusting my back to you!
Boss!
Damn it! In that case, I'll take you down with me!
Please don't shoot.
Open the safe already!
We know that you're keeping an Alma Crystal in there!
It's the second room from the right.
Just shoot, five shots.
Don't move or—
Marvelous.
It's over.
The hostages have all been freed, as well.
The manager is fine as we...
He's fine.
He just passed out after the immense pressure
was lifted from his shoulders.
So our mission's complete.
Good work, everybody.
It looks like you saved my life.
No need to thank me.
After all, I'm going to kill you now.
What do you mean?
I was a spy from the beginning.
I was to infiltrate your ranks and spy on your movements.
In the beginning it was just an infiltration mission.
But last night, I got the kill order for you.
That's why you're going to kill me?
I can't betray the trust of my client.
And? You won't have any regrets?
Even if I do, there's nothing I can do about that.
Any last words?
Do you have a good name?
For our organization.
Incognito.
Incognito...
Anonymous, huh?
That might be a fitting name for our organization.
Then...
Hold it!
You just got punk'd!
Punk'd?!
You're my client's messenger.
It was actually me.
Denka...
The client was actually our boss.
We're looking for skilled people with exceptional loyalty.
And we found you.
You passed the test. Spot Baldness, congratulations!
Congratulations, Spot Baldness... Baldness... Baldy...
What the hell?!
And that's how the Secret Service Incognito was born.
What?
Um, everybody's totally different...
And you never even appeared on the scene.
Weren't you listening to my story?
I was there, from the very beginning.
Huh?
See?
I'd leave it at that.
What?!
What the hell?
No matter how blind you are, that's totally someone else!
This story doesn't check out!
Everybody was so mischievous back then.
There were shots at the end, four of them!
What happened there?!
People have pasts that they don't want to touch again.
You understand, right? Right?
Not a single bit!
And then the morning sun rose. Period.
Period? What period?!
Wait, that's the episode?! What is this?
Aren't we nearing our final episode?!
What the hell is this? Seriously, explain it to me!
What is this crap?!
Next Time
Jugglaburk has finally started moving his armies towards St. Piria.
We rush to the battlefield to prevent the worst from happening,
but then I see the Death Omen Star in the skies.
Wait, is this the hero dies flag?!
The war is about to begin and Kon gets the hero dies flag!
Wait a sec, does this world even have the "Death Omen Star"?!
Today's content might have a lot of issues,
